One of those aha moments for me. I am a hobbyist who started pre-digital. I currently shoot raw with a pretty flat profile and use custom presets in camera to produce jpegs from my best images. Only a few test pics in and this has simplified my process enormously and I'm getting far better results. I am shooting everything at 5600k and tweaking up or down at most by 200 for the final jpeg. 'film stocks were almost all daylight balanced' ...hit me in the face why don't you 😂. Thx ❤
That's fantastic to hear! It sounds like you've really honed your technique to make the most out of your shoots. Your approach of sticking close to 5600k for that natural daylight balance is clever, and it’s great that tweaking it slightly gives you such good results. Isn’t it amazing how some small adjustments can make such a big difference? Keep enjoying your photography journey, and thanks for sharing that insight-it's definitely an aha moment worth noting! Cheers
0:37 ok so why is the tungsten setting causing the image to look red when it’s daylight? Doesn’t setting the cameras color temperature to 3200K tungsten make daylight appear more blue?
I have an iPhone 13 pro and we make cooking videos. But whenever i move the iPhone the color gets fluctuate. And i don't know how to lock it on the perfect color scale and there is no such tutorials for that. So please help me
This is likely due to the iPhone's auto white balance adjusting to different lighting conditions as you move the device. To achieve a consistent color scale throughout your video, you can lock the exposure and white balance. Unfortunately, iOS's native camera app doesn't provide direct controls to lock the white balance, but you can control exposure. Here's how to lock the exposure: • Open the Camera app and frame your shot. • Tap on the screen to set the focus point. A yellow square will appear. • Press and hold on the yellow square until you see "AE/AF Lock" at the top of the screen. This locks both the auto-exposure and auto-focus. For white balance control, you might need to use a third-party camera app that offers more advanced manual settings, including white balance lock. Apps like FiLMiC Pro and ProCamera provide these features and are designed to give you more control over your video's look, including color balance. After downloading a third-party camera app: • Open the app and find the white balance or color temperature settings. • Adjust the white balance to suit your lighting conditions. Look for a setting that prevents auto-adjustments or allows you to lock the current balance. • Experiment with the settings until you find a color scale that looks natural and consistent in your cooking environment. Remember, lighting plays a significant role in video quality. Using consistent lighting can help maintain the color scale. Consider investing in good-quality lights for your cooking videos to reduce the need for adjustments. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
When you change white balance between one shot and another, do you use the preset like warm day, cloudy ecc, or you just adjust the kelvin number? Thank you it was helpful
You for sure can! I like to use a card to balance off of but in a pinch I will just use a preset and tweak it in post. More then anything you just want to get close then make those fine adjustments in the edit. Thanks for the comment, Cheers!
